Dear diary, 

On the way to class this morning two older Gryffindor boys pulled my hood and threw me in a corner, some girls giggled at me and the boys raised their wands. Before I could do anything a birght flash appeared and they ran off, laughing. I fought back the tears and realised my hair was burning, I looked up at it - they had dyed it green! I cried and ran to the san where I begged to have my hair fixed, the nurse did and I was 10 minutes late to class, the people who were watching me looking smug as I got shouted at. 

When lessons was over I went out into the pouring rain and sat at the edge of the lake. I sobbed into my robes and didn't even notice somebody sitting next to me, they put a comforting arm on my shoulder and I looked up. 

"What do you want?" I asked, wiping my eyes.

"I'm just here if you need me," The girl smiled at me.

"Well, I -" I cut back on saying anything rude before mumbling, "Thanks."

"It's ok, my name is Lizzie, I'm in Hufflepuff as you can probably tell, and I saw what them boys did to you," Lizzie smiled sweetly. I tried to smile but couldn't muster the energy. I gazed out to the lake and the forbidden forest, I realized how tired I was and stiffled a yawn.

"Come on, I'll get my friend in Gryffindor to take you back to your dorm and some rest," Lizzie pulled me up. We walked back into the building again. 

After Lizzies friend Nora had comforted me I went to bed, I couldn't sleep a wink so thats why I'm writing so much see you t-------------
